South Africa to host 2011 UN climate talks
COPENHAGEN (AFP) –
South Africa will host the 17th conference of parties under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2011, the chair of the Copenhagen climate talks, Connie Hedegaard, said on Wednesday.
The 2010 conference will take place in Mexico City.
The 18th conference, taking place in 2012, will be held in Asia, Hedegaard said.
The December 7-18 talks in Copenhagen are being attended by 15,000 delegates, activists and journalists at the Bella Center conference venue, and many thousands more are attending an "alternative" climate conference in the city centre.
